I enjoy John 5’s playing very much, and he seems like a very nice person. But as he’s holding each instrument, I wish he would say more about them, beyond wow and unbelievable. How does it compare to other similar instruments of the era? Weight? Identifying blemishes, features? Setup? Fret size? Etc?
I knew he looked familiar! He's spitting image of the Toecutter, all he needs is a motorcycle and his gang of lackeys to travel the countryside wreaking havoc!
@@duster71 do you live in a cave somewhere? Lol His name is John Lowery, John 5 is the name given to him by Marilyn Manson when John played for him, and he just stuck with it. He plays for Rob Zombie and David Lee Roth. He has played for everybody just about, including Lynyrd Skynrd. He is one of the most sought after session guitarists in the world.
What fingerpicking piece is J5 playing at the beginning? I learned it from a fingerstyle blues book as a kid and have been looking for it for 20 years. Anyone ? Please? Help !
I think a few people hinted at something earlier that makes sense. If John plays any of Jimi's stuff, he could get his buddies at Hard Rock into some legal problems with Jimi's estate handlers. John is a famous and renowned guitarist. He plays "Machine Gun" on Jimi's guitar and they automatically get more views because the video gets recommended to others and the effect multiplies. There would be more views and more money in HR's pocket than there would be if John just said "wow" a few times and threw down a few licks. Sorry, I can see now that I got way too deep in the woods on that one. But the comment itself will outlive me. Immortality achieved.
metalskroll did you actually find the fingerstyle song he plays in the intro ? I still can’t find it......I learned it as a kid in a book but lost the book. I have to find this !
There’s only a few guys who are worthy of playing such a guitar, and John is definitely one of them. MY PROBLEM is that it was restrung for a right handed player when Jimi has it strung for a lefty. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s been restrung since he died, which sucks, but at least try to keep it the same. I hope they have the strings that were on it somewhere. Also I’d like to point out, even John 5 only got to play this gem for a very short moment lol it’s sacred
Worked at hard rock 20 odd years ago, played most of the guitars in there ,they had to come off the walls during refurb ,and put em in to security brother and I played and photographed ourselves playing most of em,
Roy Clark, very underrated guitarist in my opinion. I was steeped in the 60's music when it was coming out. But I was totally floored watching Hee Haw with my parents when Roy would cut loose jamming with Buck Owens!
Because the Hard Rock Cafe purchased it. I’m going to assume that they did their research thoroughly before putting up what must have been a shitload of money. (I say that because it was purchased for an undisclosed amount)
So are all of hendrix guitars restrung right handed now?? Totally upsetting. Why would you change the strings his hands touched... That blows my mind that people even would think of doing this. Please, leave these guitars alone.
This isn’t Jimis guitars does anyone know why. I hate when these people try to dump everyone down if you know your music history you will know what I’m talking about
the one from the cavett show was sold to the hard rock cafe,, the one John 5 is playing is the one Jimi played in Sweden, I believe it went to auction and only brought in 10k.
So picture this. Someone hands you a guitar that’s worth more than your life, hovers over you, and says play somethin’… You really think you’d crank the amp up to 11 and throw caution to the wind? Forget a nick in the paint, one micro scratch on that thing would cost you more than a small house in a good neighborhood. I’d be playing some light jazz too
In a hundred years time Hendrix fans will be asking ‘what happened to Jimi’s guitars, where are they?’ A wise old sage will tell them ‘sorry dude but selfish people back in the day got their hands on them, played the shit out of them, gigged them, marked them, broke them and they just didn’t survive for you to gaze upon’. Hendrix fans of the future will be aghast at how completely stupid and selfish those idiots were, but then the wise old sage told them further ‘Jimi’s very famous Strat fell into the hands of an imbecile ego guitar magazine editor who thought that his input on the guitar was so important that he cut off Jimi’s guitar strings and threw them in the bin before putting modern strings on it’ the Hendrix fans of the future were totally wiped out at this act of savage and disrespectful treatment of such historic importance that they wept and asked in desperation’ did the idiot magazine editor make a note of the type of strings, wound, unwound, gauges etc before throwing them away as junk?’ The wise old sage replied ‘ no he really was a criminal of the highest moronity, all he thought about was himself, he probably cleaned the fretboard off while he was at it’. Hendrix fans of the future will no doubt have their views on these idiots.

Jimi used this guitar for Slow blues tunes. Like red House. Some of my favorite tones ever. But nobody can play it like he did
Yeah, there is a video on UA-cam of him using it to play Red House.
Isn't Jimi's main sound a fuzzy strat kinda thing?
@@PedroYippeekayayeyes.
@happy_92 I just got a new fuzzy fender last month. The fuzzy Fenders sound better than the non fuzzy ones
He nails those Hendrix riffs
Totally.
Litigation.
Found my cat, John's wearing him
That looks like my ex wife.
He looks like a wealthy sloth
Its Guinea pig. So no worries.
Quick! Someone call the ASPCA!😜
John 5 worthy of Holding & Playing The Stanley Cup Of All Guitars On This Planit !! WOW !
Why aren't these publically available to review in person. These are iconic pieces of history. Please keep your videos coming!
I know this guy is being nice and John 5 is certainly an excellent player, but he doesn’t have to act like he has never seen anyone play guitar before
Mind blowing lol
Also that guitar was made to rock and he plays some lame stuff brah
John 5 a humble legend and beyond gifted great guitar great interview great reverence by interviewer
He nails that G chord
I cant believe that I live in the same city as my favorite Jimi Hendricks guitar ....
Hendrix

Shouldn't that guitar be in a museum or something ?
Matúš Buffa it is lol??
It is. It's spending one day among the living.
Omg! That is sooooo sick!!
No , it should be played
Like driving an old car once in awhile. Play it, but don’t set it on fire
John looks like he's from the first Mad Max movie
I knew he looked familiar! He's spitting image of the Toecutter, all he needs is a motorcycle and his gang of lackeys to travel the countryside wreaking havoc!
@@honeyblunt5150
That's where Marilyn Manson came in.
Did they flip the nut around?
He couldn't riff jimi because of the estate. I suggest we fans of Hendrix commence an "let jimi's songs be played and don't sue" campaign.
Nice guitar
John 5 is a legend himself. This is so cool.
jess taylor i never heard of this guy and his stupid name
Yes, yes he is!
@@duster71 do you live in a cave somewhere? Lol

like around :30 sec in?
Jerry Reed - Jiffy Jam
I saw Jimi play Red House on that guitar in Jan 1969.
So you should put it in a box and mail it to me.
Those "Mary Ford" licks at the beginning was what that model Les Paul exemplifies! Although Lester hated them.

That's true, but he could at least play something Hendrix-y. Instead he plays the same shit in every video.
Lothar of the Hill People You're right man. I think it's the least he could do, especially when he's holding the man's guitar.
Famous and renowned??!
@@adamsmith307 yes, very famous and renowned. He was (and probably still is) one of the most sought after session guitarists in the world.
I thought that was the myth buster guy Adam for the whole video!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's the song he plays at 00:30 ?
Jerry Reed - Jiffy Jam
0:32 what song is that?
metalskroll Darude Sandstorm Da Rudest Remix
metalskroll did you actually find the fingerstyle song he plays in the intro ? I still can’t find it......I learned it as a kid in a book but lost the book. I have to find this !
Jiffy jam !
Jiffy jam by Jerry Reed
There’s only a few guys who are worthy of playing such a guitar, and John is definitely one of them. MY PROBLEM is that it was restrung for a right handed player when Jimi has it strung for a lefty. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s been restrung since he died, which sucks, but at least try to keep it the same. I hope they have the strings that were on it somewhere. Also I’d like to point out, even John 5 only got to play this gem for a very short moment lol it’s sacred
john 5 is crazy good on any guitar!
So safe to assume this was restrung for a right handed player?
John 5 gotta get the timing on the first piece Jerry reeds jiffy jam
Dude looks like the Lion from the Wizard Of Oz
🤣
Whats the second song he played?
Lucky fellow
That's great; he's playing Chet Atkins stuff on the SG Hendrix owned.
Nobody gets sued for playing Chet.
Man!
Honestly this was just kind of sad to watch
brandon caleb it was.. no Hendrix riffs jus chickin pickin..
🎸✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Jimis Estate watching the video like: Absolutely fucking not!
What's that first piece he played?
Jiffy Jam - Album Careful with that Axe
first rule of thumb
Jiffy Jam - Jerry Reed
Nice to see that John was able to capture the Skunk Ape while he was there
Maybe it was cold in there !🤣
What year is that custom?
1968
I'm not hating on John 5, I love John 5, but I am a little bummed that he didn't play any Hendrix tunes on that guitar.
Thought the song Jimi did on Dick Cavett was Hear my train a comin'
same, only one i could find
How much was that guitar
Sounds like somebody threw a blanket over it
Yeah, you might want to get a real vintage amp, instead of that p.o.s you have there , to use with those priceless guitars!
That guitar honks.
Worked at hard rock 20 odd years ago, played most of the guitars in there ,they had to come off the walls during refurb ,and put em in to security brother and I played and photographed ourselves playing most of em,
Nice guitar.. Jimi was left handed but would switch off ?
I thought he was going to play Red House . Give it to Eric Clapton to Cream on it for a bit
Gibson just uploaded new video about this guitar.
I have small girl hands too
Soooooooo how does he get Jimi’s guitar and not the family?
John 5 and his Roy Clark influence is amazing.
Roy Clark, very underrated guitarist in my opinion. I was steeped in the 60's music when it was coming out. But I was totally floored watching Hee Haw with my parents when Roy would cut loose jamming with Buck Owens!
how do you know that IS Hendrix's SG?
It probably got sold when he died
I’ve got two Hendrix guitars both made by PRS and I’m not selling.
Because the Hard Rock Cafe purchased it. I’m going to assume that they did their research thoroughly before putting up what must have been a shitload of money. (I say that because it was purchased for an undisclosed amount)
@@BobK5 I have his acoustic 12 string Kent and I will sell it for an undisclosed amount of dinero.
@@zurdoremi I hope it goes to someone who will cherish it.
Damn, this SG sounds like a piano.
Next episode, Brian Jones Vox guitar?
wish he had actually played something
He did
Drain that God Damn Swamp !
I didn't realize the flobots were so old.
Off course it was configured back to right hand play
Can anybody tell him that playing that good is quite illegal?
Did Jimi restring the guitar for a lefty or did he play the strings upside down, like other lefties do?!
So are all of hendrix guitars restrung right handed now?? Totally upsetting. Why would you change the strings his hands touched... That blows my mind that people even would think of doing this. Please, leave these guitars alone.
Exactly
This guitar was used by other people after Hendrix sold it lol, these strings are totally rotten at this point.
Isn't it left handed?
john 5 i have small girl hands ahh you know what they say lol
That tone is so creamy
This isn’t Jimis guitars does anyone know why. I hate when these people try to dump everyone down if you know your music history you will know what I’m talking about
When are these two gonna kiss
HENDRIX played that axe once in Sweden, played a cover of sunshine of your love. This isn't the same one from the Dick Cavett show.
Orange Gobblin how do you know it's not the Cavett one? Curious
the one from the cavett show was sold to the hard rock cafe,, the one John 5 is playing is the one Jimi played in Sweden, I believe it went to auction and only brought in 10k.
He only had one 1967 Gibson SG Custom with Maestro VOS. He played it in public and studio from October 1968 to November 1969.
Or maybe the museum ones arnt real? I've speculated a lot of those Jimi guitars are just replicas
VoodooKush it wasn't VOS. that wasn't a thing back then. He did have another 67-69 one but in mocha
1:43 thank me later
Nicolás Moreno for what
@@Atomic1710 You wouldn't get it.
For the chickin pickin goof
You ain’t helping no one 😂 the videos under two minutes goof
@@Atomic1710 Yes. You can thank me now.
he totally butchers "Blue Finger" at the beginning. The host was marking out
Wtf man
This guy's got no business playing an sg with that prissy clean tone hes playing John 5 stick to telecasters and leave us sg players al
Alone
And you have no business playing an SG, after using the word "prissy". Lol
erkin korayın gitari işte

Deep in the swamps of Florida with a fur coat on???
RICKENBOCKER ? W.T.F. ?
Plays some dumb chicken picking jazz bullshit on Hendrix's guitar...
So picture this. Someone hands you a guitar that’s worth more than your life, hovers over you, and says play somethin’… You really think you’d crank the amp up to 11 and throw caution to the wind? Forget a nick in the paint, one micro scratch on that thing would cost you more than a small

Y quién es Jhon five mil veces mejor zim zum
The human jukebox. I’d like to sit there and just call out songs
Who the fuck is john 5 and what makes him worthy enough to play it?
He didn’t even play anything cool on it.
Toecutter!
Is that a gaudy guitar or what...No wonder hendrix ditched it.. Zbuilt well great pickups but not a sexy strat.
Take this as away from this guy. Idk who tf this is.
It’s a disrespect to Jim
So Hendrix was a "southpaw". So you restrung Jimi Hendrix guitar ? For this guy ? 🤮
This guy ain't that good
Says the "critic" commenting on a youtube video.
Lol... oh I thought that you were joking. John is one of the best guitarists on the planet today.
Who the fuk is this John 5 and why is he fondling all these historic guitars? , he’s not even good
